Yeah, I'd join that.

We have a pretty popular classifieds service at a local news site, so things like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist aren't as popular. You do need an account to message people to protect people's phone numbers from scraping, but it's pretty privacy friendly.

We need more local solutions.
